Objective: To move all cards to the foundations.

Layout: One Deck (52 cards). Clicking the deck will play
the topmost card onto the waste pile. When the deck
is empty, clicking on it will move all cards from the
waste back to the deck.

One Waste pile, filled by clicking the deck. Cards
from here may be played onto the Foundations and Tableaux.
You may not play any card onto the waste pile.

Four Foundation piles, initially empty. Start building
by moving an Ace to the empty foundation, followed by
2, then 3 and so on until the King. Each foundation accepts
cards of the same suit in ascending order only (up in
suit), i.e. once you play the Ace of Spades on a particular
foundation, you may only play 2 of Spades on that foundation,
then 3 of Spades, up to the King.

Seven Tableau piles, initially dealt between 1 and
7 cards. The top card of each Tableau is face-up. Cards
can be played onto the tableaux if they are one rank
below and of a different color (down in alternate color)
than the topmost card of the pile, i.e. if the topmost
card is 10 of Spades, then either 9 of Hearts or 9 of
Diamonds can be played on that pile. Groups of cards
may be moved between tableaux by drag-and-drop. Double-clicking
the topmost card of a tableau pile will send it to the
foundation. An empty tableau may only be filled by
playing a King onto it.

Tips: As with most Solitaire games, the object is to get
all cards face-up as soon as possible.
